FAQs for Nursted

The closest is Petersfield station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is Nursted too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. Children generally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

What paella party catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The length of service
- How many guests are eating
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Expected numbers
- What the venue already provides
- The date and rough timings
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Let the neighbours know
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
